Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether she plans to bring forward legislative proposals to amend Gift Aid legislation to ensure that charities who rely on a membership subscription model can continue to claim Gift Aid while complying with the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024.

The government is pleased to confirm its plans to legislate to amend the rules concerning Gift Aid due to implications of the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024. This Act introduces new protections for consumers who take out subscription contracts. The government will amend existing Gift Aid legislation so that charities can continue to claim Gift Aid while complying with these new consumer protections when they come into force.

In relation to the other general question related to Gift Aid reform, the government keeps all rules under review and will continue to work closely with the sector with a view to improving processes.
